My answer is 18 (or 27, pending rules comprehension from Bonus Groups)

Nope, sorry mad. It's not 18 and it's not 27. But thank you for trying here even if busy!

[IcePack]

I believe it’s 30

[DJENRE]

I believe it’s 30

ouch it's huge!
Not that much!

[IcePack]

23?

[DJENRE]

23?

You have to explain a bit or you'll pop up numbers until you found the proper solution

[IcePack]

I’m at work thinking things thru in my head. My guess was 23 or 30

It's not either 23, if you show another try, please explain.

upgrading my answer to 12 (I don't think it can be more than 15 - 5 possible dice sets and 3 ways to use them). There are two different ? destinations that can be reached, so I think that was my initial flaw - though I may still be missing something and get that big fat zero.

Again you have the proper method, but you still fail on the calculation!

[HOLD] Get 3 cr from 3 teams

Hello all,
A little issue occured while drawing the "?" card #1 a few hours ago.
This one was supposed to be hidden but has been accidentally posted on thread.
The problem is that I saw it, and IcePack too.
It couldn't be an issue for Ice because it's actually a card drawn for his team.
But it was an issue as soon I saw it. I don't know either if any of you saw it during the 5 minutes it stays online.
Drawing a new deck wasn't fair too for THE BLOOD FARMERS as they've drawn a powerfull card.
We discussed a while with IcePack and xroads and to avoid any fair issue about "?" cards, we've decided to change this rule.

From now, all "?" cards will be shown on board, no matter if they were supposed to be hidden or not. There is no more "?" hidden card!
Once the card is shown by xroads on thread, we play it directly if it's a normal one or it can be hold if it's written [HOLD].

Make sure I gonna explain all cards when they'll show, if needed! You can see next post.
I hope you all understand this change. It make everything clearer for all. And nothing remain unfair after this little 'bug' of TO.

Alright, this is my final answer - 15

Balkan Peninsula
Soviet Union
Greater China
?
Rail Asia
Phillipines
Indonesia
Australia
Rail Australia
Iceland
$
South Africa
Ethiopia
Rail Africa
Middle East

My mistake, on the first two tries was counting from the wrong second station.

If this answer is wrong, I will not try any longer as it would seem like I am just guessing even though I did have a methodology to my madness

"?" CARD #1
______________________________________________________________________________
IcePack's red bucket has broken.
He needs a new one to draw his next clan raffle!

BLOOD FARMERS can ask a
3Cr contribution to 3 teams of their choice!
______________________________________________________________________________
This card can be [HOLD] and played when wanted, but only during your move!





Must be 3 different teams Ice

From now I have to ask you if you want to end your turn or not after playing your dice, because you can decide to play your card when you want.

EDIT
This was posted on my wall :

I won’t use it for now, thanks!

[DJENRE]

Alright, this is my final answer - 15

I was pretty sure this try would have been the good one after the 2 others....
But 15 is not the answer.

@ ALL Like you said correctly : 15, it's a max!

Since we have to play 2 dice out of 3 that make 3 destination from Germany, but because I hold 2 group bonus (appears in this case to be the 2 Braun and the 2 Green group) I can choose to start from railroad Asia being right after the northern green or railroad Europe being after the northern Braun group...this is adding 6 more destination depending which pair of dice I use...so we are at 9 destination so far....now using my other bonus group will not change since it has to be play so the pawn will only move further from any of the 9 above destinations.

My answer is 9 (I hope the “?” case count as destination otherwise I will have to scramble everything again...)

Damn! wrong again!

Like bobby, the method is good but you made mistakes while counting destinations.

@ALL
Then bobby and mad,
You understood that they're are 3 "starting points" : GERMANY, R Europe, R Asia
You understood how the 2 bonuses from groups of properties work.
But there is still something missing!!

Or I have to be much clearer into my rules!

I already created the solution shown onto the board to be as clear as possible.
I wait for more answers regarding the challenge.

Thank you very much all for trying!

EDIT also, yes the "?" sign count as a destination. Actually, with this example, DIFFERENTS "?" sign count as a destination

[demonfork]

I believe it’s HASB?

[DJENRE]

I believe it’s HASB?

What do you mean with HASB?
The brand? BRO?

[IcePack]

So you have:

5+2
5+6
2+6
5+5
2+2
6+6

You also get
2
5
6

So all those combinations lead to the following movement possibilities
2
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

Since you have 3 places you can move from (Germany, Rail Europe, and Rail Asia) then you should be able to take all those movements (10 different dice totals listed above) and use them from all 3 locations.
So germany 2, germany 4, germany 5, germany 6, germany 7 germany 8, germany 9, germany 10, germany 11, germany 12
So Rail Europe 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
So Rail Asia 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

So removing repeat destinations you have

1 Netherlands
2 Nordic Countries
3 Japan
4 Balkan Penisula
5 ? (after balkan p)
6 Philippines
7 Europasia Mini
8 Oceania
9 Soviet Union
10 Stop
11 Greater China
12 Indochina
13 Hong Kong
14 Australia
15 ? (after hong kong)
16 New Zealand
17 Railway Asia
18 Railway Australia
19 Iceland
20 ? (after Rail Asia)
21 Greenland

And then, because you asked the maximum, in order for 12 to be rolled you would need doubles, which when you roll the doubles you get to play again.
So you would potentially add whatever your new roll is.

22 = New Roll

My answer is there are 22 destinations you can land

[DJENRE]

So you have:

5+2
5+6
2+6
5+5
2+2
6+6 the third dice (=6) can't be use for C/Play any of your dice twice, this one is only shown for A/Play 3 dices choose 2

You also get
2
5
6 Nope, because you don't hold B/Play one or two of your dices

[IcePack]

I must be missing something, ok. I'll wait for someone smarter then me to answer cuz I'm lost.

[DJENRE]

I must be missing something, ok. I'll wait for someone smarter then me to answer cuz I'm lost.

Nope, still confused. I give up. You said in the challenge:

Quote: You also hold two full-group bonuses = A/Play 3 dices choose 2 + C/Play any of your dice twice

But then in your answer you said:
6+6 the third dice (=6) can't be use for C/Play any of your dice twice, this one is only shown for A/Play 3 dices choose 2
6 Nope, because you don't hold B/Play one or two of your dices

So I am totally lost again. I tried, sorry!

Hummm ok If I say instead :

You're on GERMANY and the log says BLOOD FARMERS Play 5-2 / + a 6 because you own "Play 3 dices and choose 2" bonus
-> PENDING QUESTION where do you move?

Is it clearer?

And maybe the bonus should be "play a third dice and choose 2"
So it clearly explain that the 3rd dice rolled can only be used with this bonus and not combined with another bonus.

EDIT
A/Play 3 dices choose 2 = with 5-2-6 it gives 7 (5+2) or 8 (2+6) or 11 (5+6)
C/Play any of your dice twice = with 5-2 it gives 10(5x2) or 4 (2x2).

So you can finally play
4 or 7 or 8 or 10 or 11
from any of the 3 starting positions
germany, R europe, R asia

Well I am happy to see I had the right possible moves but still don't see where I went astray. Guess I will go look at the map again.

I told you , you have the perfect understanding since you started, but you made a mistake while counting destinations!

[bobbythomson]

Okay, the only mistake I can possibly see is whether I should count one square to get from Germany to the first station. If that is it, I get a different answer, but no longer feel qualified to accept the prize. So will keep that answer to myself. If there is some other mistake, I will keep looking. Not sure if I count "Stop" as a square, but I think I do.
